Feat idea

[Nox Caedes]

Gifted Exploitation
Requirement: Player is not a class that can take exploits
Benefit: The player may select one exploit from the arcanist list of exploits. That exploit increases in power depending on that characters level divided by 2. (A level 10 character is treated as a level 5 arcanist for the purposes of this feat, for example)

How am I using this exploit without the appropriate pool though? By definition I can't have that as I have no levels in a class that would grant it and the feat itself doesn't.

Point made. The feat would give you a pool similar to how Amateur Swashbuckler gives you panache.

I tend to like these kinds of "Amateur INSERT CLASS HERE" feats as they add a nice flavor the game. Some people dislike them because they feel they dilute the class borders too much. I think this seems balanced, if you get like an arcane reservoir with 3 points in it, or maybe one equal to your Charisma modifier. I'd allow this in one of my games for sure; arcane exploits are fun and seem very suitable for doling out to non-arcanists, unlike certain other class features.
